Deciphering the past status and future tendency: a comprehensive scientometric study on developmental dysplasia of the hip.

Background: Developmental dysplasia of the hip is a common musculoskeletal disorder in newborns and young children, attracting considerable controversy. The purpose of the present study was to analyze the research trends and hotspots over the past three decades in this field.

Methods: All related publications were collected from the Web of Science Core Collection from 1994 to 2023.

Directly anterior approach for total hip arthroplasty with an acetabular structural bone graft for developmental dysplasia of the hip (Crowe III and IV): a concise 5-year follow-up evaluation.

Background: This study evaluated the results of total hip arthroplasty (THA) via the direct anterior approach (DAA) in the lateral decubitus position combined with acetabular reconstruction via a bulk autograft for patients with developmental dysplasia of the hip (Crowe III and IV).

Patients And Methods: A retrospective study was conducted to analyse 16 patients (16 hips) with Crowe type III and IV developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH) who underwent THA from June 2016 to July 2021. We recorded and analysed variables such as age, sex, height, body mass index (BMI), length of surgical incision, duration of surgery, intraoperative blood loss, Harris hip score, visual analogue scale (VAS) score, lower limb length, and pelvic radiograph analysis.

Identifying Risk Factors for Disease Progression in Developmental Dysplasia of the Hip Using a Contralateral Hip Model.

Background: Developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH) can cause pain and premature osteoarthritis. The risk factors and timing for disease progression in adolescents and young adults have not been fully defined. This study aimed to determine the prevalence of and risk factors for contralateral hip pain and surgery after periacetabular osteotomy (PAO) on a dysplastic hip.

Utility of routine X-ray surveillance following hip sonography for developmental dysplasia in children: a single-center study spanning a decade.

Introduction: This study evaluates the necessity of routine X-ray follow-ups in children with developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH), identified through Graf hip ultrasound, a standard component of screening in Germany. The purpose of this study was to investigate the occurrence of radiological deterioration in hips that were initially diagnosed and treated according to established guidelines within a university-based risk-enriched cohort and to identify associated risk factors.

Materials And Methods: Patients diagnosed with developmental DDH from 2009 to 2018 with sonographically healthy hips (alpha > 64°) post conservative therapy and at least one follow-up X-ray by the age of two were analysed.

Acetabular dysplasia and the risk of developing hip osteoarthritis within 4-8 years: An individual participant data meta-analysis of 18,807 hips from the World COACH consortium.

Objective: To study the association between various radiographic definitions of acetabular dysplasia (AD) and incident radiographic hip osteoarthritis (RHOA), and to analyze in subgroups.

Methods: Hips free of RHOA at baseline and with follow-up within 4-8 years were drawn from the World COACH consortium. The Wiberg center edge angle (WCEA), acetabular depth width ratio (ADR), and the modified acetabular index (mAI) were calculated.

Deficient postoperative anterior wall index adversely affects joint survival after transposition osteotomy of the acetabulum in patients with hip dysplasia.

Aims: This study aimed to determine clinical outcomes; relationships between postoperative anterior, lateral, and posterior acetabular coverage and joint survival; and prognostic factors for joint survival after transposition osteotomy of the acetabulum (TOA).

Methods: Data from 616 patients (800 hips) with hip dysplasia who underwent TOA between November 1998 and December 2019 were reviewed. The median follow-up period was 8.

Universal ultrasound screening and early treatment of developmental dysplasia of the hip: a critical review.

Developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH) is the most common musculoskeletal disease in infants, and delayed diagnosis can worsen the prognosis. Clinical evidence increasingly supports universal ultrasound (US) screening over selective US screening. The Graf method remains the most widely accepted US technique.

Artificial Intelligence Applications in MR Imaging of the Hip.

Artificial intelligence (AI) can provide significant utility in the management of hip disorders by analyzing MR images. AI can automate image segmentation with success. Current models have been successfully tested in the diagnosis of osteoarthritis, femoroacetabular impingement, labral tears, developmental dysplasia of the hip, infection, osteonecrosis of the femoral head, and bone tumors.

Clinical Outcomes of the Arthroscopic Capsular Suture-Lifting Technique in the Treatment of Femoroacetabular Impingement in Patients With Borderline Developmental Dysplasia of the Hip.

Background: Patients with femoroacetabular impingement (FAI) are likely to present with borderline developmental dysplasia of the hip (BDDH). Considering the prolonged risk of negative prognosis in these patients, the need for surgical management of the capsule has been emphasized. Although previous studies have advocated different techniques of capsular closure during surgery, no consensus has been achieved.

Assessing Femoral Head Medialization in Developmental Hip Dysplasia Type 1 and Type 2 Hip Separation.

Background/objectives: The prevalence of developmental hip dysplasia is estimated to be 0.1-2 per 1000 infants. Hip imaging by ultrasonography is considered to be the gold standard method for screening and detecting developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH), as per the Graf categorization.

Evaluation of iliac morphology and innominate bone rotation in unilateral developmental dysplasia of the hip.

Three-dimensional assessments of unilateral developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH) have not been performed yet. Using computed tomography scanning, this study aimed to determine the morphological and rotational abnormalities of the innominate bone in female patients with unilateral DDH. Patients with unilateral and bilateral DDH were compared with healthy patients.

Screening, diagnosis, treatment and outcomes of developmental dysplasia of the hip in Brazilian population: a scoping review protocol.

Introduction: Developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH) includes a spectrum of clinical and imaging findings at birth or early infancy. The circumstances in which this condition is detected and managed may be heterogeneous in Brazil owing to its large territory and regional socio-economic differences. Mapping DDH perspectives in a country is fundamental for designing guidelines and strategies for public policy.

Validation of a computerized model for a new biomechanical concept- the fossa-foveolar mismatch- the answer to lesions of the ligamentous fossa-foveolar complex in the hip?

Background: Hip-preserving surgery in young patients frequently reveals lesions of the ligamentum teres (LT). Histological and clinical evidence supports that those lesions could be source of intraarticular hip pain. It has been hypothesized that LT degeneration could be linked to the abnormal positioning of the fovea outside the lunate surface during various daily motions.

Review of susceptibility genes in developmental dysplasia of the hip: A comprehensive examination of candidate genes and pathways.

Developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH) is one of the most prevalent skeletal deformities, primarily due to the incompatibility between the acetabulum and femoral head. It includes complete dislocation, partial dislocation, instability with femoral head subluxation, and a range of imaging abnormalities that reflect inadequate acetabular formation. Known risk factors for DDH include positive family history, sex, premature birth, non-cephalic delivery, oligohydramnios, gestational diabetes mellitus, maternal hypertension, associated anomalies, swaddling clothes, intrauterine space restriction, and post-term pregnancy.

The Role of Contrast-enhanced Ultrasound in the Femoral Head Perfusion Evaluation: A Pilot Study.

Objectives: We explored the value of contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) in evaluating femoral head (FH) perfusion, guiding interventions and follow-up for infants with developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH) and septic arthritis of the hip (SAH). The aim was to provide robust evidence for clinical assessment.

Methods: Ten infants, including 7 with DDH and 3 with SAH, were prospectively enrolled, with their bilateral hips alternately scanned during the CEUS exams.
